#Excerpt: WICKED DESIRE by Kiersten Fay

Excerpt:

She killed the ignition, slipped the satchel’s strap over
her head, and shouldered the door open. Outside, the cool morning breeze played
in her hair.

The airship was a great hulking beast of a thing. The body
reminded her of a bowhead whale. In the back, twin vertical steering fins were
probably six stories tall at least. The gondola boasted three, four, maybe even
five levels—she couldn’t quite tell from this distance—and was snuggly attached
to the belly of the plump, stretching bladder filled with helium gas. Four
massive propellers stabbed out from the gondola’s front and rear and could be
swiveled horizontally or vertically for additional lift or propulsion. They
were angled toward the earth at the moment, already spinning in preparation for
takeoff.

“You owe that poor attendant back there an apology. I had to
steal his only transport.” He patted the handlebars.

“Then it sounds like you owe him an apology.” She’d expected
to see people lined up on the platform, or crew readying the ship. There were
none. She supposed the passengers were all aboard. The loading doors were
closed…the propellers spinning? Wait, was it already off the ground? “Oh, no!
Are they taking off without us?!”

BLURB:

Having
survived her terrible captivity by a sadistic doctor deep within an ancient
mine, Cora returns home ready to move on with her life, but when Mason’s
mysterious condition quickly deteriorates, Cora must embark on a quest for the
one thing that could save his life.

When she is told Knox will accompany her, she fears she will not return alive.
If Knox cannot control her, he might prefer her dead. Trusting him is a gamble
she may never win…unless she can find other ways to tame the wild vampire.

Kiersten Fay is the award-winning author of the
steamy Shadow Quest series. She writes epic paranormal and sci-fi romance
novels which incorporate elements of mythology and Lore. In 2012, Demon
Retribution won Favorite Story of the Month via Gravetells, and received a
nomination for favorite author in that same year. In 2013, her short story,
Racing Hearts, was published in the anthology The Mammoth Book of Futuristic
Romance. Her latest series, Creatures of Darkness, is a dark, yet steamy
romance set in a future where vampires openly mingle with humans. Before
becoming an author, Kiersten worked as graphic designer and now enjoys creating
her own book covers.
